Oh my god, you guys. I cannot believe that it's me. I cannot believe that I'm filming this video. Hey guys, it's me, Dasha, and welcome back to my channel. I cannot believe that I'm finally saying this, guys. I'm so sorry that I disappeared. I kind of needed that time.
2
Maybe later we will have a big talk about like what happened to me like in my YouTube channel.

What is going on? What am I going to do? Today I'm going to show you a day in my life. You know, I just wanted to start it super supernaturally. I didn't take my camera. I just want to start filming everything on my phone. And I just got outside. I met my Korean follower right after I got outside of the shop. And I am so happy and super super grateful. You know guys, recently because I started like appearing in some Korean shows, I kind of started noticing that my Korean fan base is growing and I'm super super happy with this fact. Whenever I go outside and meet my followers, I'm extremely happy. Finally, today's weather is good. I was basically waiting until the moment when I finally feel like I want to start filming YouTube videos again.
4
But you know what I realized is that there is never going to be the right moment. You just have to start doing that. And sometimes I wasn't in a mood to start filming or like it wasn't the perfect day to start filming. But today I just realized that I will just start.
5
I came to the station. We are going to go from this station and I got myself this egg bacon bread. And also I ordered some matcha. Yes, girls. How can we go without our matcha? What are you talking about? Like I cannot go without my matcha. I'm so sleepy. I got my next pillow. So hopefully I can get some sleep on the train. I'll listen to some music and just waiting for my matcher.
6
Hey guys. So, I finally arrived in Busan. What is going on with my hair? I don't know. We just stopped at place. I'm with my manager. So, we're going to rent a car and then go to a shooting place. So today I'm going to have a shooting like not a shooting like kind of a live stream with the symbol of Busousan. His name is Boogie and it's a seagull. Yeah, I know it sounds weird. Boogie is so funny. It's probably the first time that you're going to see me talking to a seagull.
7
That's fine. I got so I was so dehydrated on the train. Like it's so dry there. But my tone look at this. Oh my god. Something I hate it when this happens. Something in the corner of my eye.
8
My lip pencil today is from MAC. "Sweet talk". Guys, this color is the perfect color for my lips. I never tried MAC before, but I think I love them so much. And for the lipstick.
9
Okay. What is this?
10
Yay!
11
Hey, thank you Boogie.
12
Guys, look at this view. Guys, I love Busan so much. Wow, look at that bridge. That's insane. Outfit check. So guys, I came to my hotel, but I'm going to wait a little bit for my friend. I'll wait for my manager to come down and then we will go. I don't know where we're going to go. I honestly feel so dizzy and my head hurts. I have a headache. I don't know why. Maybe because of the sudden change of the weather. I'm at the hotel now and going to their buffet. I'm so excited. I'm super hungry, you guys. Gosh, this hotel is so cool. I really, really like it.
13
My god, guys. Their food. Everything looks so good. Look at this. My favorite naan. Oh my god, you guys. Everything looks so good. I cannot believe it. I am finally going to eat. Their food looks so good with this view. Oh my god, you guys. Literally, these are my highlights. Their Chinese food is amazing. But this butter curry and this I don't know what it is, but it's eggplant with cheese and tomato sauce. Bro, this is amazing. And their pizza. I love it. Oh my god, guys. I eat like a pig. Look at this. Like, why why am I always like that? I don't know. The best friend gave me my birthday present. And look at this love. Tada. I love you. Very nice. Guys, we are going to go to a karaoke. We want to win some toys. We can try to do this. my friend is a professional.
14
you can do this, my brother. Yeah. Yeah.
15
Yeah.
16
You know how much it costed us? It was freaking a lot of money to get this freaking monkey. The price of this game was even higher than the price of this freaking monkey. I hate this monkey. Guys, we came to a karaoke. Now we're going to sing. Yes. What are we going to sing? I don't even know.
17
Guys, can you hear my voice? I lost my voice. And then we are going to rest a little bit and charge our phones because I literally have like 3% on my phone right now, guys. I just showered and did my skincare routine. I am so tired. You can tell. Like, good night. I love you. See you tomorrow.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This vlog gives you a firsthand experience of daily life in Korea through the eyes of Dasha, a content creator who engages with her followers while navigating new environments. By watching her spontaneous interactions, you will not only improve your listening skills but also be inspired to practice speaking English in real-life contexts. Using this video as a resource, you can embark on an effective shadowing technique for improving your fluency and confidence. As you imitate Dasha's speech, you can incorporate her casual yet engaging dialogue into your own practice, making this an excellent choice for IELTS speaking practice and overall English proficiency.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Dasha's speech highlights several key grammatical structures and expressions that are particularly useful for learners:

  • Present continuous tense: Expressions like "I’m filming" and "I’m kind of happy" showcase this tense's effectiveness in conveying ongoing actions and feelings.
  • Casual language and interjections: Phrases such as "Oh my god" and "Yes, girls" create a conversational tone, which is valuable for learners looking to grasp everyday English used in informal contexts.
  • Descriptive adjectives: Dasha describes her experience with words like "amazing," "super hungry," and "cool," illustrating how adjectives can enhance storytelling and engage listeners.
  • Future plans: Sentences like "we are going to rent a car" illustrate how to express future intentions, a key skill for discussing plans or desires.

Common Pronunciation Traps

In the video, Dasha's lively speech introduces some pronunciation challenges that learners may encounter:

  • Vowel sounds: The word "matcha" may be tricky due to its distinctive pronunciation, which is crucial for making your English sound more natural.
  • Contractions: Dasha uses many contractions (e.g., "I'm," "you guys"), which can lead to mishearing if you're not familiar with relaxed speech patterns.
  • Linking sounds: Phrases like "I'm super happy" may feature linked sounds, making it a good opportunity to practice shadow speech to improve your fluency and rhythm.

Utilizing the shadow speak approach, you can engage in repetition, mimicking both the intonation and phrasing used in the video. This will significantly enhance your listening and speaking skills, preparing you for the complexities of English conversation and examinations like the IELTS.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
